Verse
You Ride with the top down
And all the girls stare
The scent of a magazine
In your windblown hair
And I coulda tried
To get deeper inside
But I sat there alone and
Slowly got fried

Chorus
C D G
I've got piles of old pictures
C D G
Got your clothes on my racks
C D G
You can keep most of the records
C D G
Leave me the Motown and the Stax
C D G
Leave me the Motown and the Stax
Verse
Broke Down in Grimsby
I missed you so bad
I felt like a fifth wheel
I smile when I'm sad
And all of the whiskey
In the world couldn't stop
My heart from beating
I spun like a top ?
Prechorus
Hope it's only pretend
That this is the end
Chorus
I've got piles of old pictures
Got your clothes on my racks
You can keep most of the records
Leave me the Motown and the Stax
Leave me the Motown and the Stax

Bridge is something like this. Fingerpick something like this.
Verse
Screw these damn cellphones
Gimme cancer in my head
And this genetic chicken
Makes me feel like I'm dead
We could argue for hours
And miles in the night
Until I just pass out
In the flourescent light
Prechorus
Hope it's only pretend
That this is the end
Chorus
I've got piles of old pictures
Got your clothes on my racks
You can keep most of the records
Leave me the Motown and the Stax
I've got piles of old memories
You and me down by the tracks
You can keep most of the records
Leave me the Motown and the Stax
